Chapter 12: Cheating the Sucker Ji Qingqing 

Ji Xiaoyue headed towards the meat processing plant in the county.

She gave the guard a piece of pork head meat and cold salad. In this era, ordinary families could only afford to eat meat during the New Year.

She had been here yesterday. The guard saw the meat and naturally opened the gate for her.

Ji Xiaoyue gave the things to the factory manager and discussed the future supply of pork and the price of pig offal with him.

The factory manager was a man in his fifties, actually, he had his eyes on Ji Xiaoyue.

He wanted Ji Xiaoyue to be his son’s wife, and he was thinking of playing the long game, so he used his position to give her a very low price.

Ji Xiaoyue naturally didn’t know about this.

As she walked out of the factory, she thought to herself: Her uncles were going to leave, and they were all future bigwigs, she had to leave them some souvenirs.

After leaving the meat processing plant, Ji Xiaoyue went to the county supply and marketing cooperative.

She really was short of money, there were five of them, and Ji Xiaoyue wandered around the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time without knowing what to buy.

She had cloth coupons, and she knew how to make clothes, but she didn’t have much money, and she still had to buy pork head meat, pig offal, and ingredients for the cold salad.

In the end, she could only walk out of the supply and marketing cooperative with her head hanging low.

As soon as she walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw two familiar figures walking towards her, they must be going to the cloth shop across the street.

The shop across the street was a private cloth shop, with more styles and higher prices. Ji Xiaoyue had already checked it out.

She couldn’t afford it, she couldn’t afford it at all.

The people walking towards her were Ji Qingqing and her friend.

Ji Xiaoyue almost burst out laughing when she saw Ji Qingqing.

Wasn’t this like someone sending a pillow when you’re sleepy!

She went into the cloth shop before Ji Qingqing, she talked to the shopkeeper for a few words and waited for Ji Qingqing in the shop.

Ji Qingqing had already seen Ji Xiaoyue.

Because of that little bitch, she was still being pointed at and gossiped about. She wouldn’t let Ji Xiaoyue off today.

She leaned close to her friend’s ear and whispered a few words.

Her friend gritted her teeth and cursed, “Country bumpkins are really filthy, they actually drugged you and made you lose face, just watch how I deal with her.”

The two of them entered the cloth shop after Ji Xiaoyue.

Ji Xiaoyue saw Ji Qingqing and her friend coming in from the corner of her eye, she immediately pointed at a few bolts of cloth and said to the shopkeeper, “Boss, I want those, take them down for me to have a look.”

The shopkeeper immediately placed the bolts of cloth that Ji Xiaoyue pointed at in front of her.

“Comrade, your taste is really good, this is the best fabric in our shop, it’s the latest style this year. It’s perfect for making men’s clothes, it’s very sharp.”

Ji Qingqing, who had just entered from the door, pulled on her friend’s clothes.

“Ame,” she called out to her friend beside her in a pleading tone.

Her friend, Lin Mei, was the daughter of a platoon leader, and she was also a proud child of the compound.

She was most receptive to Ji Qingqing’s act of weakness. In the original plot, Ji Qingqing was a reborn pampered darling, and this gullible best friend was Ji Qingqing’s gun, she would shoot wherever she pointed. Lin Mei would do all the charging and fighting.

“Ji Xiaoyue, you can’t afford such good cloth, can you?” Lin Mei rushed in and grabbed the bolts of cloth on the table.

Ji Xiaoyue snorted coldly, “What’s it to you?”

She said, looking at Ji Qingqing with a smirk, “Oh, isn’t this the adopted daughter of Chief Ji’s family?

Your whole body was seen by everyone the other day, how can you still have the face to go out? If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to go out for the rest of my life.”

She took a step back, clicking her tongue, “There’s a smell of slut. You’re rolling around with men in broad daylight, so eager, huh.”

She exaggeratedly looked at Ji Qingqing.

Ji Qingqing had been unable to go out for many days because of what happened that day. Today, she finally gathered the courage to come out and make clothes with Lin Mei, and Ji Xiaoyue brought up the past, making her both embarrassed and angry.

But she was always clever, she wouldn’t take the lead, she pulled on Lin Mei’s arm pitifully, “Ame, let’s go, she’s my parents’ biological daughter, I don’t want to argue with her, it’s okay if I suffer a little.”

It would have been better if she hadn’t said that, but as soon as she said it, Lin Mei was like a lit fuse, and she exploded.

“Boss, I want all the cloth that Ji Xiaoyue wants. We’ll buy from your shop in the future, don’t sell to this country bumpkin.” Lin Mei said to the boss with a grand gesture.

The boss looked at Lin Mei with difficulty, “Comrade, we’re open for business, if you do this, it will be difficult for us.”

Before the boss could finish his sentence, Ji Xiaoyue spoke softly, “Boss, I’ll pay double, sell it to me.”

She said, gritting her teeth at Ji Qingqing, “Ji Qingqing, you’ve already taken my parents away, I must have these bolts of cloth, I won’t lose to you today.”

Ji Qingqing was pleased when she heard Ji Xiaoyue’s words, and she gently pulled Lin Mei again.

Lin Mei, as if encouraged, said, “Triple! We’ll pay triple. Ji Xiaoyue, do you have money?”

So, Ji Xiaoyue looked at the two of them with resentment and gritted her teeth, “You’re just bullying me because I don’t have money, okay, you wait for me, I won’t let you off.”

She stomped her foot and turned to leave, “I don’t want it anymore!”

Lin Mei sneered triumphantly, “If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it, country bumpkin.”

Ji Xiaoyue heard this and turned back, she leaned close to Ji Qingqing’s ear and said word by word, “Ji Qingqing, you wait for me, I will get my college spot back.”

After saying that, she raised her head and walked away with a defiant look.

Ji Qingqing and Lin Mei sneered triumphantly.

After Ji Xiaoyue walked out of the cloth shop, she hid aside and waited for them.

The two of them stayed in the shop for a while, probably bought a few more bolts of other fabrics, and soon came out with their heads held high like victorious roosters.

After the two of them left, Ji Xiaoyue went back to the cloth shop.

The shopkeeper cut the cloth that Ji Qingqing had chosen for her and gave her twenty-five yuan.

“This is the remaining money after deducting the cloth you wanted.”

Ji Xiaoyue had gone into the shop first and told the shopkeeper that she could make Ji Qingqing and Lin Mei buy the cloth at triple the price, but she would take half of the extra money.

“Comrade, if you have any more good deals like this in the future, come find me.” The shopkeeper was overjoyed to have made a profit and couldn’t close his mouth.

Ji Xiaoyue grinned at him, “Okay!”

She also happily took the cloth and money and left.

When she got back, she immediately went to the bullpen to take measurements for the bigwigs.

The five big men saw Ji Xiaoyue busy and frowned, “Yueyue, don’t bother, we’re leaving tomorrow, five clothes, there’s not enough time.”

Ji Xiaoyue patted her chest, “No way! Once you leave, we may not be able to see each other again, I don’t want to let you go.”

These words made the five men’s eyes moisten.

Ji Xiaoyue thought to herself: I’m doing this so that you will remember me often. What if you forget me after you’re reinstated?

So, she took their measurements and went back to make clothes for them overnight.

Before entering this book, Ji Xiaoyue’s grandmother was a tailor, and she had learned cutting, pattern making, and sewing from her grandmother when she was a child.

She only thought of making clothes when she saw her aunt’s sewing machine the other day.

Ji Xiaoyue not only made clothes for the five uncles, but also made a set for her uncle, aunt, and cousin.

“Cousin, try on these three sets. I’m going to deliver them to the uncles now, otherwise I won’t have time.”

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t sleep all night, she not only made clothes overnight, but also made the cold salad and pork head meat that she was going to take to Jianguo Restaurant today.

“Okay, you go quickly.”
